Propagating Eden "Uses and Techniques of Nature Printing in Botany and Art"
International Print Center New York
This event has ended.
Propagating Eden will present wide-ranging examples of historical and contemporary work in which botanists, printers and artists have employed nature printing techniques. Nature printing is defined as the technique of making impressions either directly or indirectly from natural objects.
Dating from the mid 18th century to the present, the works in Propagating Eden include important scientific botanical treatises illustrated with nature-printed specimens, as well as works by contemporary artists who mine the potential of natural forms incorporating them into their work for expressive purposes, and thus demonstrating how nature printing has evolved with advances in print technologies.
